Actually, early on I predicted that a Radioshack toy would be able to win the contest. And now for less that $70 US I believe I may have found a candidate. It looks kind of like Wall-E.

But as to your more specific question, all I can say is that after my Fourth of July test of the Wienerrover, there have been no more videos of X PRIZE rovers (unless you count team Selene's Oxyhydrogen rover, aka Mosquitorover). So it looks like the other teams have been humbled extensively.

Also, the Wienerrover is not a miserably designed toy. It is actually the product of a symphony of engineering subtleties.

Excuse me, but did I accidentally drop in on a forum for serious scientists?
